2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · KS10 AEY

The most recent MOT test on 20 June 2024 recorded a pass with no defects at 125,334 miles, following a fail six days earlier at 125,324 miles which also listed no defects. This unusual pattern suggests the initial failure may have been administrative or a very minor issue rectified immediately. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged across the four-year history. However, the absence of any advisories or failures does not guarantee the vehicle's current condition, particularly given the time elapsed since the last test. The mileage record contains a significant anomaly. The 2022 test at 184,703 miles is dramatically higher than the 2023 test at 120,921 miles, a drop of over 63,000 miles in one year. This is physically implausible for a vehicle of this age and strongly suggests an odometer discrepancy or a clerical error in the DVSA record. The later readings from 2023 and 2024 are consistent with each other, showing approximately 4,400 miles per year, but the 2022 figure casts doubt on the entire mileage history. A buyer must verify the true mileage through service records and vehicle history checks. Given the clean MOT history, no specific recurring faults are documented. Nevertheless, a 2010 Peugeot 308 with over 125,000 miles will likely exhibit wear in suspension components such as front lower arm bushes and rear axle bearings. Brake discs and pads, along with exhaust system corrosion, are common at this age. The absence of MOT advisories does not mean these items are in good condition, only that they met minimum standards at the time of test. A thorough pre-purchase inspection should focus on structural integrity, particularly for corrosion in sills and suspension mounting points, and verify the engine and gearbox condition through a road test.
